Reborn As A Dragon Girl With A System-Novel

Chapter 596 - Body Fortification Realm Part 2

"A spirit condensing array?" Kana looked at Elder Di questioningly. She understood what an array was but not the purpose.

Elder Di smiled as he answered: "A spirit condensing array is an array that will draw in more spiritual qi into it, allowing for a more robust place of cultivation. Sadly this is the max I can do as I am only a rank two array master."

"Array master…" Kana's eyes shined. She wanted to learn. She wanted to learn how to create arrays! "Ummm… Elder Di… Can you…"

Elder Di did not even need Kana to finish what she was saying as his lips curled up into a grin. "Little girl, when you reach the qi gathering realm, I will test your aptitude in forming arrays. It will require a lot of mental energy. During this time, I will also use some of my own resources to help build up your mental energy. Also…"

Elder Di took out a jade slip. It was what cultivators normally used when learning cultivation methods. "Hold on to this for now. It will help cultivate your mental energy later on. And…" He took out another jade slip and handed it over. " This here will help cultivate your body beyond the body fortification realm. You can start cultivating it when you reach the qi gathering realm. Unlike normal cultivation, this one infuses spiritual qi into your muscles, refining them. This is a low ranked one, unfortunately, since our sect does not have many body cultivation methods. But since you are not human, your body is your biggest weapon. So it is important not to slack on body cultivation. in the future, it will rely on your own luck to find a decent body cultivation method."

Kana looked at the two jade slips and smiled. She nodded her head as she said: "Thank you, Elder Di!"

"Haha! I have high hopes for you, lass. Maybe in the future, the other elders will also stop by. Alright, this old man will stop chatting your ears off and set up the array." Elder Di let out a laugh as he patted Kana's shoulder and went to work.

Shi Yu and the other girls looked at Kana enviously at the treatment she was receiving, but they understood that Kana had a chance to become a peak cultivator. By the sect helping her out now, they were making it so she would feel grateful towards them and want to help them in the future. And with how Kana was with those who treated her kindly no matter their motives, as long as they kept this status quo, she would return the kindness back to them.

"Alright, Kana, there is no time like the present so, let's begin your training…" Shi Yu said.

"I am ready for whatever you throw at me," Kana replied. She was truly willing to endure whatever was thrown at her just to become stronger. She knew her babies were already much stronger than herself. And she had lost over a hundred years' worth of time. She wanted to take this chance while in this world that had a different way of doing things and power scaling to really gain new strength. If she was able to rise up to the top of this world before finally freeing herself of the restrictions here, she knew once she regained her regular powers, she would be stronger by many folds, and this was her goal. Grow stronger while still restricted, making her true self that much stronger in the end. But she also knew that this world was not polite and that she may have to kill many people. To this, she was slightly reluctant, but in a world where strength rules, she could not show weakness.

"Good! Now then, to enter the body fortification realm, one must first undergo a body cleansing. Junior Sister Na, get the bath ready! Mei Ling, you take Kana inside to get her ready. I will get the other things ready." Shi Yu gave out orders, and before Kana knew it, she was whisked away by Mei Ling.

Shi Yu saw the girls entering the house and let out a sigh before walking over to Elder Di. "Elder Di, if I may ask. Should I make Kana do more than just take the pill?"

Elder Di paused his hands and stood up. He thought for a moment before nodding his head. He took out a jade slip and spoke a few things into it, and handed it over to Shi Yu. "Get these herbs and put them in the bath with her. Have her soak in them until the water runs clear. It's just that… with both pill and bath, she will be in great pain. Tell her she can not pass out."

"Understood. Umm… Elder Di, if I were to do the…"

Elder Di grinned. "Wait until that little girl undergoes the baptism. The pain that she will have to endure is like ripping your bones and muscles out of your pores without breaking the skin. If you think you can endure, then go ahead."

Shi Yu's face paled. She did indeed wish to grow stronger, but from the sounds of it, it would be so painful she might die just from the shock. As a wave of fear welled up inside her, she turned towards Elder Di and asked: "Why are you having her endure such pain?"

"Because she is not human. Her body is made different from ours. That little girl will surpass every human on this continent and maybe even the world. You know our little continent is bound by its own heavenly laws. This is why we are unable to rise higher than the golden core realm, and in order to break these chains, we must find our way to the mainland. Elder Ning is right to nurture this little girl. She will bring glory to our sect and our continent in time. Until then, she will need you as her senior sister to guide her and help her. Do not let jealousy consume you. That little girl can not be measured by human standards. I heard what happened in the cave with the demonic cultivators. She, with no cultivation, could defend against blood clones of a peak qi condensation realm cultivator… That is not something a human could do."
